NAI Hiffman managing director Bob Assoian (pictured) says the “less ‘me’ space, more ‘we’ space” wave has hit the suburbs full force. Suburban property managers and owners are having serious conversations about the influx of workers to Chicago, and there’s still a lot to love about the suburban assets. Well-located buildings that have adapted to the demands of the tenant base and are providing amenities more common in downtown office buildings (ex: WiFi, soft seating in deli areas, modern lighting, and self-checkout for employees working odd and long hours) are doing well. Surveys conducted by NAI Hiffman indicate industrial tenants also want today's modern amenities and conveniences. Bob says NAI Hiffman responded with food truck days, and car wash and shoe shine services at some warehouse properties.

At Naperville Woods (shown), a 500k SF office complex in Naperville, NAI Hiffman and building owner Agellan Commercial are committed to improving the tenant experience. The property, which is 95% occupied, already had a fitness center and deli, and Bob tells us the building's security check-in was replaced with a concierge who can hook tenants up with tickets to shows and restaurant reservations. Naperville Woods is also considering adding a bikesharing service for tenants' employees to bike to nearby Morton Arboretum, and charging stations for electric cars. Bob agrees with Jack that taking advantage of utility rebates is essential, especially on the industrial side where the tenant pays for electric.
